California's wild pigs are massive and ubiquitous. They can grow into 200-pound ripping machines. They tear up lawns and destroy hillsides. Their gruesome teeth can even threaten humans and pets.

Their lesser used non-scientific name is "Porkus Democraticus".

So what’s the name? “Read More” doesn’t work for me.

“Looks like California needs to import some good ole boys to take care of the wild pig problem.”

You can hunt wild pigs year round and the limit is two. Wild pigs have migrated all the way down to Riverside and Orange County.

“Moore lived out the rest of his life, quietly, in Los Angeles, although his World War II draft card indicates he still kept up high-profile friendships.”

Why would he have a WWII draft card?

Ever since the first European settlers came we’ve been dealing with feral swine. Never understood why we never have open season as they are not indigenous to North America.

Spanish Conquistadors would dump pigs (actual males and actual females - none of that Cultural Marxism crap back then) on new-found islands in hopes of establishing a food supply.

Now that I think about it, back in the 19th Century...

Starlings (in North America) came from an endeavor to introduce all the birds mentioned in the works of Shakespeare, to Central Park, iirc.

Gypsy moths were a failed attempt are increasing “silk” production at Tufts U. Allegedly, the bugs “escaped”, but I’m betting either a Buddhist or lazy grad student wanting to leave early for weekend partying just dumped them out a window, rather than terminating them with extreme prejudice.

According to a 1941 society column in the San Francisco Chronicle, he advised British Field Marshal John French during World War I. “He was the man most responsible for the failure of several of the last German drives,” the Chronicle wrote.

That last quote is almost certainly untrue. I do remember reading recently that French was a lady's man and high-lifer who was always in debt. He hung out with an American millionaire who helped pay his expenses. The guy even stayed at French's headquarters during the war, and Moore must be that guy.

French's sister was a wealthy suffragette who opposed the war and ended up supporting the Bolshevik revolution. Brother and sister got along very well - she also loaned him money - until they didn't.

You have to hunt them with spears. It’s California.

Elizabeth Warpath could get them with hatchets. Indians are good with primitive tools.

The year before, he’d been sued by the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company for unpaid bills; the Oakland Tribune said he was spending $12,000 a month on long-distance calls — a mind-boggling $235,000 today.

And for just about 50 bucks per month today, you can make as many long distance calls you want on your cell phone. If he had that deal, perhaps he would have had more money to see him through the Depression.
